Closing Week of Homer and Hopper
As we approach the close of the exhibitions Edward Hopper and Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light, here are a few tips for seeing the shows one last time.
First Hours
The first hour of every day is still member-only: take advantage of this opportunity at 10:30 on weekdays and 10:00 on weekends.
Member Encore
On Sunday, May 11 the exhibitions will be open to members between 10 and 5. Members are welcome to bring guests; for any guests beyond those allowed by the membership, please plan to purchase additional tickets at Will Call at the time of your visit.
